It really does take a lot of time to make records, to be in the studio and do all that stuff.
People come to music to seek oblivion: is that not also a form of deception?
I never took a grant or borrowed a penny from anybody. It was partially because I didn't really know how to do that, but secondly, my pride never would have allowed me to. In the beginning it was about doing it the right way, on the merits of the music.
